He will say that he has made the statement in a fit of anger. But your reflection on this must be that the lawgiver grants no indulgence to anger; he punishes the speaker, unless he proves the truth of his words. I have borne witness twice in regard to this man: for I was not aware that you punished the persons who had seen the deed, but pardoned those who had done the throwing away. I therefore request you to condemn him.

For although at this moment I am prosecuting for slander, yet at the same casting of your vote I am prosecuted for murdering my father: no trial could be more serious for me than this; and I alone, when certified of age, indicted the Thirty before the Areopagus. Vindicate, therefore, both my father and me.

He 1 w 2
will 1 w 6
say 1 w 9
that 1 w 13
he 1 w 15
has 1 w 18
made 1 w 22
the 1 w 25
statement 1 w 34
in 1 w 36
a 6 w 37
fit 1 w 40
of 1 w 42
anger 1 w 47
But 1 w 51
your 1 w 55
reflection 1 w 65
on 2 w 67
this 1 w 71
must 1 w 75
be 1 w 77
that 2 w 81
the 2 w 84

grants 1 w 98
no 1 w 100
indulgence 1 w 110
to 1 w 112
anger 2 w 117
he 4 w 120
punishes 1 w 128
the 3 w 131
speaker 1 w 138
unless 1 w 145
he 7 w 147

the 4 w 156
truth 1 w 161
of 2 w 163
his 2 w 166
words 1 w 171
I 1 w 173

this 2 w 208
man 1 w 211
for 1 w 215
I 2 w 216
was 1 w 219
not 1 w 222
aware 1 w 227
that 3 w 231
you 2 w 234

I 3 w 313
therefore 1 w 322

you 3 w 332

him 1 w 344
For 1 w 348
although 1 w 356
